Sounds like you are doing as well as you can Grace. This time of year is tough as it is without having this to deal with as well. Your H is grieving and will naturally turn to his best friend for relief. Do what you can while keeping your expectations to a minimum. This may be a bit of a wake up call for him but it could also send him scurrying deeper into his tunnel. Be parepared for both and again, no expectations. (((HUGS)))
